Tornadoes 2
Tornadoes are one of the most devastating forms of mother nature. These unpredictable storms inflict a great amount of damage on whatever they come across. These storms mysteriously appear across the US and put fear in the hearts of many.Tornadoes are large violent storms that come down from cumulonimbus clouds. This mass of swirling clouds can range from a few meters to a kilometer at the bottom. The whirling wonder is only visible because of the dust that is sucked from the ground as well as condensation from nearby water. The storms generally spin counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere, but like I said before these storms are unpredictable and at times this does not apply. These massive storms can reach wind speeds of 480km/h (~300 mph) and some are predicted to spin at 800km/h (~500 mph). As they move along the ground they leave a path of destruction. Tornadoes destroy buildings, motor vehicles, and anything else they come across that weighs 30,000 pounds or less. A man by the name of Theodore Fujita invented a tornado scale. This scale measures tornadoes cause. Rating Wind in Meters per second Damage
